Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested the
review withdraws its request within 90
days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of the requested
review. Goldenpalm and the petitioner,
each timely submitted a withdrawal
request within the 90-day period, and
no other party requested an
administrative review of this order.
Therefore, we are rescinding, in its
entirety, the administrative review of
the CVD order on certain lined paper

countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries of certain lined paper products
from India during January 1, 2017,

Countervailing duties shall be assessed
at rates equal to the cash deposit rate for
estimated countervailing duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their

of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction

requested. Failure to comply with the
